Chapter 43: Ning Wanli: I never wanted to marry
After Zhao Hao asked carefully, Meng Longtang explained the cause and effect of the incident.
Zhao Hao couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Ning Wanli analyzed the situation and he had long been worried about it. The country was founded by force. Since the founding of the country, everyone had to rely on military officers to survive. The civil service system at that time was civil servants at best, and logistics at worst.
We are fighting on the front lines, and you can just make money and food in the rear to appease people's hearts!
However, during Jiang Zheng's reign, the territory of the Wasteland was getting larger and larger, and the civil service group was not only able to handle logistics.
Especially after the alien races are completely expelled, the area of the wilderness country is enough to rival the five Central Plains countries. Civil servants have more and more functions and the work they do is getting heavier and heavier. How can they be willing to be inferior to others?
It's a pity that the people's worship of military commanders is so strong that it can't be reversed in just a few decades.
Moreover, the Desolate Country borders the wealthy Qi and powerful Wei, so the greatest say comes from the power of the army.
I am not willing to succumb to others, but I have to succumb to others.
But the situation in the Desolate Country is too special. At least among the five Central Plains countries, no minister has ever had a status comparable to that of Zhao Dingbian.
All generals in the country should respect the Duke of the country!
This is crazy...
Never mind how deep the friendship between the emperor and the Duke of Zhenguo was widely rumored, and never mind how kind the emperor was to him.
Zhao Hao could understand with his toes that the emperor must be unhappy.
Zhao Dingbian also knew that the emperor was unhappy, so he took the initiative several times to reduce his military power.
But at that time, the war was intense.
Jiang Zheng did not want to affect morale, let alone be known as a cunning rabbit who died as a lackey, so he strongly opposed these measures. This further strengthened the people and even the court's mindless touting of the friendship between monarch and ministers.
Even those old foxes felt that the emperor really trusted Duke Zhen.
But now, Huang State and Qi State have formed an alliance, Qiang Wei has been given a loud slap in the face, and he is temporarily honest.
Safe!
Stronger!
So the civil servants couldn't sit still and quickly started to form a group so that they could snatch meat from the general group. After all, they were too weak.
Although the Qin family's decision to break off the engagement this time was more out of concern for the emperor's face, it still had the element of subjugating the prince, which would naturally arouse the dissatisfaction of other civil servants.
Otherwise, although the two dogs of the Xun family were indeed dogs, they would not expose Qin Zhili's scars in public while he was drinking.
There is no other reason than that the civil service group is too weak, so there will inevitably be many losers. If there is no punishment for the losers, there is no possibility for this group to grow.
The emperor can hardly sit still.
It is even said that this seemingly insignificant little farce may have been caused by him.
Meng Longtang said worriedly: "Brother Ritian, what do you think?"
Zhao Hao sneered: "This Princess of Qi is quite good at farting. My grandpa, the emperor, is so kind to me and even hunts and fishes with him every day. You tell me to suppress the generals?"
After saying that, he shook his legs proudly and pretended to look around casually.
There was no one around, but the vague feeling of being watched did not dissipate.
The first literary star lit up, and although it did not improve his cultivation, nor did it give him any means of attack or defense, his perception improved a lot.
Damn it...there's always a traitor in the family.
With the old man's resourcefulness, he definitely wouldn't have missed it, but he didn't expect that the old man was so confident in his own level of trash, and had no intention of catching the traitor.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the emperor has not taken action against his own family until now, right?
After all, there is a price to pay for breaking up, and even Jiang Zheng doesn't want to bear this price easily.
Meng Longtang chuckled and said: "I think so. These people have read too much and everyone wants to harm her! Do you think we will see this woman again? If not, let her get out!"
"Let me think about it..."
Zhao Hao held his chin.
Ning Wanli is obviously a smart woman, at least she has no problem analyzing the situation, and she can directly see her own thoughts.
Although it is not difficult to guess this, there is a premise for this, that is, she is sure that she will choose the option with the least trouble.
Moreover, the emperor's people knew about her coming to Zhenguo Mansion, so it would be difficult for the options she gave to hide from the emperor's eyes.
If she is not allowed to come over...
Does it make me look smart?
Does it make me look guilty?
But if we let her come over, this woman is obviously here to show her kindness. What if she talks nonsense?
During this time, his feeling of being on thin ice became more and more intense.
If it were before, he would still wonder if he was too sensitive.
But ever since he recalled the incident when he was almost poisoned when he was six years old, he knew that this sense of crisis was definitely not groundless.
What to do...
He quickly made a decision and snorted: "I didn't expect this sinister girl to guess quite accurately. I really want to ask her how she guessed it.
You tell her that she can come to see me, but she has to dress a little more coquettishly, and look a little sadder. At least she has to make others feel that she really loves me. Damn it! I, Zhao Ritian, have spent my entire life trying to play with my feelings.
Why don't you pay some price? Anyway, if she returns to Qi, she won't be able to get married!"
"okay!"
Meng Longtang was extremely excited when he heard this: "Brother Ritian, you are too cruel. I will humiliate her later!"
Zhou Jiufeng echoed from the side: "Anyone who plays with my brother Ritian's feelings will be punished no matter how far away he is!"
Zhao Hao waved his hand: "Go quickly, go quickly!"
…
Fangfei Building, elegant room.
"A little bit showier?"
Ning Wanli couldn't help but frowned: "What does it mean to be more showy?"
Meng Longtang and Zhou Jiufeng couldn't help but take a few steps back, fearing that Ning Wanli would kick them in the face alone. This was simply not something they two losers who had just entered the high-end could bear.
The two brothers looked at each other, and finally Meng Longtang said tremblingly: "It's just more beautiful, more coquettish... You know coquettish, right? It means the same thing as elegant!"
Only then did Ning Wanli smile slightly: "When I went to the Zhenguo Mansion, I dressed up better and looked more reluctant, so that the people would think that I was indeed extremely enamored of Mr. Zhao, right? I really love Mr. Zhao.
Of course that’s no problem!”
"Yes, yes! That's what it means!"
Meng Longtang finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least he no longer had to take this beating.
"Hmph! You know what's going on!"
Zhou Jiufeng snorted coldly, and his muscles that had been tense for a long time relaxed.
Ning Wanli cupped her hands at the two of them: "In that case, I will go back to the embassy and change into women's clothes now. Goodbye, you two!"
After saying that, he put on his bamboo hat and left Fangfei Building.
The two brothers breathed a sigh of relief.
Meng Longtang said with lingering fear: "Brother Zhou, I felt so fierce when my mother-in-law frowned just now!"
Zhou Jiufeng nodded with deep understanding: "One thing to say, one thing to say, it's true!"
They were really scared just now. The feeling was just like facing their own grandfather.
downstairs.
On the way to the Qi Embassy.
Under the bamboo hat, the corners of Ning Wanli's mouth raised slightly.
Don’t even think about getting married when you return to Qi State?
